Hi, C33.

I’m brand new to this board and in fact this is my first post! It seems only natural that I first gravitated to the Health and Fitness forum. My wife and I own a gym and a personal training business and I am certified as a personal trainer by the American Council on Exercise and the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

Calculating calories burned is performed in terms of METS (short for “metabolic equivalents”). Check out this site and SolutionsInFitness.com Estimate Caloric Expenditure for a better understanding of how to calculate METS.

Cheers,
Mike
